Hey, so I'm considering applying to Michigan State and I'm curious about the school's demographics. I want to know more about the racial and ethnic diversity there before deciding. Can someone give me some info on this?
From the latest data available, Michigan State University (MSU) does boast of a fairly diverse demographic breakdown. Here's an approximate division according to the various racial and ethnic groups in the student body:
- White students make up the majority at around 70%
- Asian students constitute around 9%
- Black or African American students make up roughly 7%
- Hispanic or Latino students constitute approximately 7%
- A percentage of the student population also identifies as two or more races, with this group making up about 5%
- The remaining returning students fall under categories like Native American and Pacific Islanders which each make up less than 1%.
Bear in mind, that these are ballpark figures and might be slightly different currently. We recommend checking the Michigan State University’s institutional research site or contacting the admissions office for the most up-to-date figures. MSU is a large institution with approximately 40,000 undergraduates, providing a wide range of backgrounds and experiences to learn from. Each student brings a unique perspective, contributing to the dynamic and inclusive environment at MSU.
